And at the strike of the first bong we won’t be a sovereign nation. We will still be under EU rules but with no MEPs or any representation we have absolutely zero say until any trade deal is completed. 

You are aware that when we joined in 1973 we had no representation?

 

The EU only decided it needed a fig leaf Parliament in 1979, when the first MEPS were elected.

Looking forward to beginning the celebrations and countdown on Brexit Eve.

 

Because it's a once in a lifetime event the atmosphere will be one of longing and anticipation. 

 

Its gonna be magical. Can't wait!

10 more years of Tory rule if Momentum get there way in the Labour leadership contest. Odd sort of magic for a supposed socialist.

So who did the Tory remainers vote for then?

Considering that the Tories held on to most of their remain seats I would say that most of the Tory remainers in those areas still voted Tory.

Taking back control. Removing a remote, out of touch, distant elite of the ruling class.

 

Decentralising power back to the people.

I have to admit, I struggled to choose.  I went with the Lib Dems but thought Jo Swinson's campaign (and her as leader) was completely wrong.

 

And locally the Lib Dems and Labour were at each others throats and saying to tactically vote for their respective parties to keep out the Tories, but it didn't work.

What the House of Lords is being disbanded and the electoral system is being reformed? wow - I’ll get my party poppers ready.

All this control restored to the not-at-all 'remote, out-of-touch, distant elite' of the Conservative party, seems to be working well for the good people of Poole so far: Poole gets told their A&E is at risk of closure by Conservative government, still elects Tory MP (with stomping 19k majority), sees A&E closure confirmed weeks later by Tory Health Minister. 

 

The parallels of the above with the Brexit proceedings, now fully controlled by the not-at-all 'remote, out-of-touch, distant elite' of the Conservative party, are quite amusing.

I have to ask, who are the good people of Poole blaming?

 We never lost control. The "ruling class" as you like to call them will feel espoused and "the people" were given power for 1 referendum only.  As a result we are now very vulnerable. The "ruling class" made a great catch and we are in the net irrespective of how we voted. 😟
